New Zealand Scholarship is a series of stand-alone examinations designed to extend very able students. Although a much higher level of analysis is required, the subject matter assessed is the same as that covered for Level 3 NCEA. Students enter external scholarship assessments in addition to those required for NCEA Level 3. A set proportion of students obtain Scholarship in each subject. Successful candidates receive financial assistance with their tertiary studies.
